1 tsp vanilla extract

3. Mix together remaining ingredients and sprinkle over top of cherries.
4. Bake for 35 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

Use fresh cherries. Fresh cherries will give your crisp the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries that have been thawed and drained.
Pit the cherries. Before you add the cherries to the crisp, be sure to pit them. You can use a cherry pitter or a sharp knife to remove the pits.
Use a variety of nuts. In addition to pecans, you can also use walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts in your crisp. This will give the crisp a more complex flavor and texture.
Don't overcook the crisp. The crisp is done when the topping is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling. If you overcook the crisp, the topping will become dry and the cherries will lose their flavor.
Serve the crisp warm. The crisp is best served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
